Tag Along and Drag Along Rights (a) The Participant shall be deemed to be a Management Tag Along Holder (as such term is defined in the Articles) for purposes of the Articles, such that the Participant shall be entitled to receive a Tag Along Notice (as such term is defined in the Articles) and otherwise participate in the provisions of the Tag Along Sale as set out in the Articles with respect to (i) the vested portion of any Award and (ii) with respect to the unvested portion of any Award, the portion of such Award that would vest under Section 3(c) of the Award Agreement to which this Annex A is attached in connection with such Tag Along Sale (e.g., where such Tag Along Sale is also a Change in Control) (“Contingent Awards”), and, for purposes of the Articles, Eligible Convertible Securities shall include both vested Awards and Contingent Awards. In such event, the Shares underlying vested Awards and Contingent Awards shall be permitted to be sold pursuant to such Tag Along Sale by the Participant in its capacity as a Management Tag Along Holder. The proceeds from such Tag Along Sale with respect to Contingent Awards shall (A) be deposited into escrow, (B) vest in accordance with the terms of the Applicable Award Agreement (or otherwise) and (C) be distributed to the Participant when the underlying portion of the Award otherwise vests (or in the case of any Contingent Award that is considered to be non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A Deferred Compensation”), when permitted by Section 409A without penalty to the Participant).
Drag-Along Rights (a) Subject to Sections 4.04(g) and 4.05, if a Shareholder (the “Drag-Along Seller”) proposes to Transfer (not including, however, any pledge, encumbrance or hypothecation) any shares of any class of Shares that results in a Change of Control (i) to any Third Party or Parties or (ii) to any Person in connection with a reorganization or restructuring of the Company as determined by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) so long as each Stockholder in the Company maintains their proportionate economic and voting interest in the capital stock (or equivalent securities) of the successor entity to the Company (the “Drag-Along Transferee”) in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, and (any such Transfer, a “Drag-Along Sale”), the Drag-Along Seller may at its option require each other Stockholder to Transfer the Drag-Along Portion of the class of Shares (“Drag-Along Rights”) then held by such other Stockholder, and (subject to and at the closing of the Drag-Along Sale) to exercise such number of options for Common Shares held by such other Stockholder as is required in order that a sufficient number of Common Shares are available to Transfer the relevant Drag-Along Portion of Shares held by each such other Stockholder, (i) for the same consideration per share or unit of the relevant class of Shares, (ii) in cash, notes, and/or marketable securities, and (iii) otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the Drag-Along Seller; provided that any other Stockholder that holds options the exercise price per share of which is greater than the per share price at which the Common Shares are to be Transferred to the Drag-Along Transferee, if required by the Drag-Along Seller to exercise such options, may, in place of such exercise, submit to irrevocable cancellation thereof without any liability for payment of any exercise price with respect thereto. If the Drag-Along Sale is not consummated with respect to any Common Shares acquired upon exercise of such options, or the Drag-Along Sale is not consummated, such options shall be deemed not to have been exercised or canceled, as applicable.
Tag-Along Rights (a) Subject to Section 5.4, if one or more Class B Stockholders (the “Transferring Stockholders”) desire to sell any or all of their Shares, other than to a Permitted Holder or in a Market Sale, and such sale would result in a Change of Control (and has been approved as provided in Section 5.2(a)), each Class B Stockholder shall have the right to participate on the same terms and conditions and for the same per share consideration as the Transferring Stockholders in the sale in the manner set forth in this Section 5.5. If Class B Stockholders do not elect to purchase such Shares pursuant to Section 5.4, the Transferring Stockholders shall, prior to such sale, deliver to the other Class B Stockholders prompt written notice (the “Transfer Notice”), which notice shall state (i) the name of the proposed transferee, (ii) the number of Shares proposed to be transferred (the “Transferred Shares”) and the percentage (the “Tag Percentage”) that such number of Shares constitutes of the total number of Shares owned by such Transferring Stockholders, (iii) the proposed purchase price therefore, including a description of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit the determination of the Fair Market Value thereof, and (iv) the other material terms and conditions of the proposed sale, including the proposed sale date (which date may not be less than 30 days after delivery of the Transfer Notice). Such notice shall be accompanied by a written offer from the proposed transferee to purchase the Transferred Shares, which offer may be conditioned upon the consummation of the sale by the Transferring Stockholders, or the most recent drafts of the purchase and sale documentation between the Transferring Stockholders and the transferee which shall make provision for the participation of the other Class B Stockholders in such sale consistent with this Section 5.5.
Drag Along (a) If the GM Investor proposes to Transfer more than fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities to an Independent Third Party prior to an IPO (other than any Transfer (i) as provided in Section 9.08, (ii) in connection with Section 9.10, or (iii) pursuant to Section 9.12), the GM Investor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to deliver a written notice (such notice, the “Drag-Along Notice”) of its intention to do so to each other Member (the “Dragees”). The Drag-Along Notice shall set forth the aggregate consideration to be paid by the Independent Third Party and the other material terms and conditions of such transaction (a “Drag-Along Sale Transaction”), which shall be the same (in all but de minimis and immaterial respects) for the GM Investor and the other Members except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement. Upon receipt of the Drag-Along Notice, each Dragee shall be required to participate in the proposed Transfer in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 9.09; provided, that if such Drag-Along Sale Transaction involves less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares held by the GM Investor, then each Dragee will only be required to participate in the proposed Transfer to the Independent Third Party with respect to such percentage of each class of its Shares as equals the percentage of the GM Investor’s total Shares being sold in such Drag-Along Sale Transaction (the “Drag Percentage”). If the GM Investor is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received under this Section 9.09, all Dragees shall be given the same option and, otherwise, the ratio of both (i) any cash to any non-cash consideration and (ii) among any type of non-cash property or asset consideration to any other type of non-cash property or asset consideration shall be equal (to the extent reasonably practicable) for each of the GM Investor and the Dragees. Within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the Drag-Along Notice, each Dragee shall deliver to a representative of the Company or the GM Member designated in the Drag-Along Notice such certificates (if certificated) representing all Shares (or the Drag Percentage of each class of its Shares, as applicable) held by such Dragee or in other cases mutually acceptable instruments of transfer duly endorsed, together with a limited power-of-attorney authorizing the Company and the GM Investor to sell or otherwise dispose of such Shares pursuant to the proposed Transfer to the Independent Third Party, as well as any other documents required to be executed in connection with such transaction. In the event that any Dragee should fail to deliver such certificates (if certificated) or other documentation to the Company or the GM Investor’s representative, the Company shall cause the books and records of the Company to show that the Shares of such Dragee are bound by the provisions of this Section 9.09 and that such Shares may be Transferred only to the Independent Third Party.
No Appraisal Rights Shareholders shall have no right to demand payment for their Shares or to any other rights of dissenting Shareholders in the event the Trust participates in any transaction which would give rise to appraisal or dissenters’ rights by a stockholder of a corporation organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or would otherwise give rise to such appraisal or dissenters’ rights.
Approval Rights From the date hereof and until the Final Closing Date as described in Section 1(c), the Company shall not take any of the following actions without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, in its sole discretion:
Take-Along Rights If an offeror desires to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and if the owners of at least 50% of the outstanding shares desire to make such sale, the Optionee agrees to sell all of his or her shares to such offeror on the terms and conditions approved by the owners of at least 50% of the outstanding shares.
Appraisal Rights Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares (the “Appraisal Shares”) of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(b), but instead such holder shall be entitled to payment of the “fair value” of such shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262. At the Effective Time, the Appraisal Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Appraisal Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Pre-Merger Special Dividend, any dividends in accordance with Section 2.02(c) and the right to receive the “fair value” of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 or a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the “fair value” of such holder’s Appraisal Shares under Section 262 shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall cease to be Appraisal Shares and be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(b), without any interest thereon. The Company shall give prompt written notice to Parent of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL received by the Company, and Parent shall have the right to participate in negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do or commit to do any of the foregoing.
Reasonable and Necessary Restrictions The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions, prohibitions and other provisions hereof, including, without limitation the Restriction Period, are reasonable, fair and equitable in terms of duration, scope and geographic area, are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and are a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement.
